Heisman winner Travis Hunter ditches 2X NBA champ Kevin Durant for Ant man while bragging about his athletic prowess

Travis Hunter has officially won the 2024 Heisman Trophy. The Colorado star earned the honor after an impressive 2024 season in which he became a key contributor on both sides of the ball. With the victory, Hunter became the first two-way starter since Charles Woodson to win the top individual prize in college football.

During the award ceremony, Travis Hunter spoke to the press while wearing a light blue suit. One journalist asked him about his favorite NBA player and which sports he thought he couldn’t play.

He answered:

"Sports that I couldn't play ? I can play all of them. NBA comp? I like KD. Wait, hold on. Nah, Anthony Edwards. That's what I'm going with: AE."

The Heisman Trophy voting results went as expected, with Hunter edging Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty for first place.

Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel and Miami's Cameron Ward finished third and fourth, respectively.

The Heisman ceremony took place Saturday at Lincoln Center in New York City. In his acceptance speech, Hunter conveyed numerous expressions of gratitude.

"First I want to say thank God, man. I never thought I would be in this position. It's crazy. Your belief take you a long way. It's actually crazy, man. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you," he said.

"I want to thank my fiancée and my mother. They've been with me since first time I had surgery my first year of college. They never took a step away from me. All the hard hours, all the hard days. ... Y'all stay with me. I'm very thankful for y'all. ... I want to thank Coach Prime, Shedeur, y'all changed my life forever."

The 214-point margin between Hunter and Jeanty marked the closest Heisman race since 2009, with Jeanty winning the fan vote.
